The major professional highlight of the Christmas season for yours portly is the annual Christmas Concert at school, a time-honored tradition that is frequently honored in the breach (leave a comment and I’ll explain what I mean by that).  It’s a huge undertaking for myself and my students, but when everything clicks, it makes for a truly magical experience.

Here are past posts about Christmas concerts from 2021-2023:

• “SubscribeStar Saturday: Christmas Concert 2021 Review” (SubscribeStar) – The first concert since The Age of The Virus!
• “Delayed SubscribeStar Saturday Delivered!: Christmas Concert 2022 Review” (SubscribeStar) – A fairly magical concert, as I recall.
• “SubscribeStar Saturday: Christmas Concert 2023 Review” (SubscribeStar) – Perhaps one of the best Christmas concerts yet!

Happy Sunday—and Merry Christmas!
